The Lemma De Predicatoribus In Iacobus De Benevento’S Viridarium Consolationis: An Unexpected Preaching Tract In A Dominican Florilegium, Chris L. Nighman
The Lemma De Predicatoribus In Iacobus De Benevento’S Viridarium Consolationis: An Unexpected Preaching Tract In A Dominican Florilegium, Chris L. Nighman
History Faculty Publications
This article introduces editions of two distinct versions of a short Latin text on preaching that appears in an influential Latin florilegium. While the voice of the compiler is absent or minimal in the other topics covered by this anthology of authoritative quotations, the lemma De predicatoribus contains extensive original lines composed by the florilegist, Iacobus de Benevento (c. 1255/71). Because this florilegium was intended primarily as a resource for preachers to compose sermons, its reception in later texts probably includes some of those original lines authored by Iacobus, unwittingly disseminated in Latin and Romance language sermons and …

Work And Madness: Overworked Men And Fears Of Degeneration, 1860s-1910s, Amy Milne-Smith
Work And Madness: Overworked Men And Fears Of Degeneration, 1860s-1910s, Amy Milne-Smith
History Faculty Publications
The very things that provided a Victorian man’s status, his self worth, and his identity could also lead him to lose his mind. This paradox is at the heart of this essay. Men breaking down under the pressure of hard work was disruptive in a society that was dependent on that overwork. This idea preoccupied Victorians, who worried that the pace of modern life could lead to broken nerves, low spirits, nervous collapse, and even suicide. Both doctors and sufferers believed that overtaxing one’s brain could lead to a complete mental breakdown requiring institutionalization. As asylums filled up with incurable …
Queensberry’S Misrule: Reputation, Celebrity, And The Idea Of The Victorian Gentleman, Amy Milne-Smith
Queensberry’S Misrule: Reputation, Celebrity, And The Idea Of The Victorian Gentleman, Amy Milne-Smith
History Faculty Publications
To Victorians, the Marquis of Queensberry was a well-known aristocrat. As the father of Lord Alfred Douglas and the nemesis of Oscar Wilde, Queensberry was the impetus behind Wilde’s legal troubles. He is also renowned as the eponym of boxing’s first, and most famous rulebook. As a man who flouted every prescription for gentlemanly conduct, he provoked a variety of reactions. The working-class response to the Marquis, for example, suggests a more complicated relationship between the aristocracy and labour than has previously been recognized. Queensberry’s lifestyle also pointed to an enduring aristocratic rakish subculture within the respectable British metropole; for …

Club Talk: Gossip, Masculinity And Oral Communities In Late Nineteenth-Century London, Amy Milne-Smith
Club Talk: Gossip, Masculinity And Oral Communities In Late Nineteenth-Century London, Amy Milne-Smith
History Faculty Publications
Gossip is not only a guilty pleasure; it is also an important tool of social control. Nowhere is this more evident than in the nineteenth‐century gentlemen's clubs of London. This article looks at the private lives of elite men whose gossip helped shape class and gender ideals. Archival documents, private memoirs and periodical literature provide both an insider and outsider vision of a very private world. Looking at how men gossiped points to codes of gentlemanly behaviour, the importance of homosocial life, and the place of oral culture in a modern, literate age.

Citations Of 'Noster' John Pecham In Richard Fleming's Trinity Sunday Sermon: Evidence For The Political Use Of Liturgical Music At The Council Of Constance, Chris L. Nighman
Citations Of 'Noster' John Pecham In Richard Fleming's Trinity Sunday Sermon: Evidence For The Political Use Of Liturgical Music At The Council Of Constance, Chris L. Nighman
History Faculty Publications
This article examines a sermon for Trinity Sunday that was delivered by Richard Fleming at the Council of Constance in 1417. The author argues that Fleming’s citation of liturgical chant and a homily composed by John Pecham, together with certain external evidence, suggests that he was trying to bolster the reputation of the English Church in order to counter attempts to deprive the English delegation of its status as a ‘nation’ within the council. As such, it constitutes an interesting confluence of pulpit oratory, liturgical music, and ecclesiastical politics at this council.

This article demonstrates on the basis of various manuscript evidence that two distinct individuals who attended the Council of Constance have been mistakenly conflated into a single person by historians of this important church council.
Commmonplaces On Preaching Among Commonplaces For Preaching? The Topic Predicacio In Thomas Of Ireland's Manipulus Florum, Chris L. Nighman
Commmonplaces On Preaching Among Commonplaces For Preaching? The Topic Predicacio In Thomas Of Ireland's Manipulus Florum, Chris L. Nighman
History Faculty Publications
This article offers a new theory regarding Thomas of Ireland's intention in compiling the Manipulus florum. Focusing on several passages from Thomas's Preface to this influential florilegium, the author proposes that it was not intended as a resource for sermon composition, as previously thought, but rather as a collection of authoritative quotations to be used by university students for the purpose of self-formation. While the evidence for its reception as a preaching aid indicates the importance of the entire text of the Manipulus for scholars of late medieval and early modem sermons, it is argued that thefifty-ftve quotations …

For many Germans in the immediate postwar period, all that remained of their country was its art. Subjugation, destruction, the pain of unfathomable guilt: these had ripped away at the national psyche, severing nation from nationalism, person from people, the present from the past. “We are,” wrote Wolfgang Borchert in 1946, “a generation without a homecoming, because we have nothing to which we can return.” Nation: what would that word now mean? An occupied state no longer possessing statehood, a conquered people starved even of the moral strength that might come from resisting. Even if the institutions of national governance …
